Entrepreneurship Assignment- four pages Entrepreneurship paper
There are 4 preliminary steps to this assignment:
1. Pick an entrepreneur you personally admire -someone who's currently engaged in business activities or someone who's a historical figure. For example, you could choose:
Henry Ford
Walt Disney
Milton Hershey
Richard Branson (Virgin Group)
Oprah Winfrey
PrudencioUnanue(Goya)
Sara Blakely (Spanx)
J. W. Marriott, Jr.
Jeff Bezos (Amazon)
Larry Page or Sergey Brin (Google)
Steve Jobs
Travis Kalanick (Uber)
If you are having trouble finding someone here are a couple of lists:
• https://www.incomediary.com/30-most-influential-entrepreneurs-of-all-time-2
• https://www.success.com/articles/182--50-greatest-entrepreneurs-of-all-time
Your selection does not need to be a US based business person (i.e. Richard Branson), but must have US based operations.
2. Find out about the entrepreneur - read an article in a business magazine/newspaper or a book. You can also watch a TV program on your entrepreneur if one is available (no quickie YouTube videos - full length only). Reading your person's information on Wikipedia is NOT appropriate - surprised?
NOTE: You may be able to find a chapter in a book that would work. Ex: The Greatest Business Decisions ofAll Timeby Fortune.
3. Read an article on what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Examples:
• Entrepreneur Magazine: 25 Common Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs by James Stephenson, https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/200730
• 12 Essential Characteristics of an Entrepreneur, by ActionCOACH, https://www.actioncoach.com/_downloads/whitepaper-FranchiseRep5.pdf
• Inc. Magazine: 10 Secrets of Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur, by Naveen Jain, https://www.inc.com/naveen-jain/10-secrets-of-becoming-a-successful-entrepreneur.html
You can use any of these articles or find your own (subject to my approval).
